The parlour.

 
 Once it looked like this
Not in the time of the Brontes
But in the time of the Museum

  1. Indeed. In the time of the Brontes you would need an army of footmen just to deal with that huge rug...( there being no power vacuums ). I can't see Tabby and Martha dragging it out side for a beating lol
    .
    I believe that wall paper was there for years. Today the room seems almost over filled with items to be likely...but when the rooms were done over recently , I thought there would be even more items stuffed into them ...so the room looks good to me today.

    How plainly people lived back then, and how few items they had, is shocking to us today. But that's why built- in closets are so relatively new ! We also have fixed ideas how Victorians lived...but usually it's how the later Victorians decorated ...certainly from the 1860's on ward, rooms were often stuffed to the brim
